Could an Eskimo use one? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ski
'one?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'could an eskimo use' is the wordplay.
'use' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'using' mean this (the answer is used in part of the clue)).
'SKI' is hidden in the letters of 'could eskimo'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ski that I've seen before include "Winter sport equipment" , "Go downhill rapidly" , "Aid to movement on snow" , "the end for many Russians" , "Runner for use on snow" .)
